Former USF defensive tackle Terrell McClain has shot up draft boards since his senior season with the Bulls.

The 6-foot-2, 297 pounder, who's worked out with several teams, including the New England Patriots and the hometown Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has worked his way up to a potential second-round selection in the NFL Draft, which starts tomorrow at 8 p.m. on ESPN.

In last month's pro day at USF, McClain shaved a fraction off his 40-yard dash time from the 5.02 he ran at the NFL combine in February. He also impressed NFL scouts at the East-West Shrine Game and the Senior Bowl earlier this year.

"I never thought I'd make it to this point but right now I'm just trying to take it all in," McClain said after pro day late last month. "I'm a very humble person and I'm truly blessed for every day the lord gives to me to do this."
